CHAPTER 842: CHAPTER 567: EASY TO GROW BIGGER, HARD TO SHRINK AGAIN (PART 2)

Even if it’s Niu Ma, it’s impossible to move a pyramid weighing millions of tons.

Especially in a place like Ten Thousand Great Mountains, there would definitely be enthusiastic locals claiming it as their ancestral tomb.

"Yeah, that’s why I won’t use the Pyramid unless absolutely necessary."

Doctor Nile nodded.

"And besides, don’t even think about using it. This thing can only be used by me, not even Sasha can use it."

He saw the longing in Liu Zheng’s eyes and mercilessly crushed his hope.

"Sigh~"

Liu Zheng’s tone was full of regret.

"Anything else? If not, I need to hurry and make some medicine, or I might not make it in time."

Doctor Nile put away the Pyramid and said.

"Nothing else, you go ahead."

He waved his hand and said.

"Hmm. Huh?"

Doctor Nile was just about to turn around when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait, this is my house; if anyone should leave, it’s you. Hurry up, if you have nothing to do, get out."

He said disdainfully.

"I haven’t had breakfast yet."

Liu Zheng shamelessly said.

"I didn’t prepare any breakfast for humans, but I have feed ready for Niu Daji, want some?"

"Could you at least treat me to a mug of honey beer?"

A thief never leaves empty-handed, he was determined to get something before leaving today.

"You shamelessness is truly born of Niu Ma."

Doctor Nile reluctantly went inside and brought out a large mug of beer.

"I’m even giving you the cup. Hurry, take your beer and get out."

He said irritably.

"Hmph, I’ll leave then!"

Liu Zheng took the beer mug and said loudly.

"Let’s go, Da Ji, let’s go deliver takeout together."

After leaving the Clinic, he called to Niu Daji, who was exercising.

There’s quite a bit to prepare for this, so it’s convenient to bring a little helper along.

"Alright! Boss, I’ll put these things away first."

Niu Daji said excitedly.

Finally, he could deliver takeout with the boss; as the third generation leader of the Takeout Gang, he hadn’t yet experienced the main business of the gang.

"Go ahead."

Once Niu Daji finished putting things away, the two of them got in the car and headed to Worker New City.

The journey to Ten Thousand Great Mountains was uncertain, so it was better to handle Niu Ma’s family matters first.

"Hey, I’m here."

Liu Zheng called Mountain Goblin on the phone.

"Okay, wait a moment, I’m on my way."

After waiting for another ten minutes, Mountain Goblin arrived in an old Volga.

"Here."

Without any nonsense, he handed the repaired hat back to Mountain Goblin.

"Not bad, not bad, even better than my old one."

Mountain Goblin said happily, stroking the hat.

"Of course, the spider silk used to repair the hat comes from a master of the Spider Clan, and it was also repaired by a new generation genius of the Spider Clan. If it weren’t for my connections, you’d go broke trying to hire them."

Liu Zheng said proudly.

"Of course, who in the Metropolis would dare not to give face to someone like you."

Mountain Goblin put on the hat and praised endlessly.

"Good that you know. Now can you tell me?"

He looked down at the other, chest puffed out in pride, with Niu Daji also puffing up his pectorals in sync.

"I’ll tell, I’ll tell. That teacher is called Huang Jingjing, lives in Worker New City, Building 13, Unit 1303."

Mountain Goblin said.

"How’s his strength? Any background at home?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"As for strength, I don’t know, but he looks thin and should not be very strong. For background, apart from being a relative of the cram school’s owner, he also has an uncle named Huang Shishi, who is a teacher at the Film Academy, and seems to have influence in the entertainment circle. That’s about all I’ve heard."

Mountain Goblin replied.

"What’s the cram school owner’s name?"

"I don’t know, only know the surname is Hua."

"Alright, you go ahead, and if you hear anything else, call me right away."

He instructed.

"Sure, I’ll get going then, take care."

Mountain Goblin took off his hat, bowed in farewell, and quickly got back into the Volga and left.

No time to waste; he had only taken an hour off, and every extra minute would deduct a whole day’s wage.

"Let’s go deliver takeout."

Liu Zheng glanced at the time and said.

He drove while thinking about the situation in his mind.

Based on the current information, to solve the issue with Niu Ma’s wife, he could tackle it from three directions.

First, get rid of Huang Jingjing himself.

This method is quick and simple, but considering Huang Jingjing’s relative is the cram school’s owner, the repercussions could be significant.

Second, get rid of the tutor center’s boss.

This method is a bit indirect, but it tackles the root problem more effectively, and it’s more beneficial for Niu Ma’s wife’s job.

Third, use Huang Shi Shi Shi to deal with Huang Jingjing.

This method is even more indirect and doesn’t address the root issue; it’s only to be used if the first two methods fail.

"Let’s try the second method first."

Liu Zheng manipulated the steering wheel with two tentacles, and used the other two to make a phone call, without a bit of delay.

"What’s up?"

The call connected, and Silver Wolf’s voice came through the phone.

"Nothing, just wondering how your transfer is coming along."

He originally intended to talk about the tutor center, but changed his mind at the last moment.

"What’s your opinion?"

Silver Wolf asked back.

"I suggest you transfer. The enemies behind the scenes are more dangerous than the ones in front."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Hmm. When are you free? Your sister-in-law has been wanting you to come over for a meal."

"You know, with my work, there’s never really a free moment. I can only come out when there’s an order."

He smiled wryly.

"Then tonight at six, I’ll order takeout."

Silver Wolf said.

"Isn’t that too extravagant?"

"Just one takeout, it won’t hurt me. It’s decided."

Silver Wolf said and hung up, leaving no room for Liu Zheng to refuse.

"What a trouble this is."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

He changed his words at the last moment because he considered one issue.

He and Niu Ma, he and Silver Wolf shared life-threatening bonds, but Niu Ma had no such relationship with Silver Wolf.

In fact, Niu Ma planned to do smuggling business in the future, which would put him directly at odds with Silver Wolf, a City Hall employee.

Of course, opposing forces can also be translated into shared interests.

But before the relationship transforms, it’s better not to let Silver Wolf know about Niu Ma’s wife.

Using official channels to deal with the tutor center boss won’t work, so should Liu Zheng handle the boss himself or deal with Huang Jingjing instead?

Liu Zheng didn’t hesitate much and chose the latter.

While pondering, the Cayenne S passed through streets and alleys, arriving at East Empress Avenue.

"East 17."

He slowed the car, and he and Niu Ma looked towards both sides of the street.

"Boss, over there."

Niu Ma found the target.

Liu Zheng followed its furry hand and spotted a two-story building with a wooden sign at the doorway. On the sign, a question mark was drawn with black ink.

"?"

Seeing this sign, a question mark emerged in his mind as well.

"Stay outside and cover me."

Liu Zheng instructed Niu Daji as he got out of the car.

"Alright, boss."

Niu Daji also got out, put on the vest, and readied the steel fork, fully prepared.

It was its first time accompanying for a delivery and couldn’t afford any mistakes.

Liu Zheng walked to the door of East 17 and gently knocked.

"Come in."

A weak-sounding female voice came from inside.

"It’s that easy to let me in?"

He frowned, feeling uneasy rather than relieved.

Unusual circumstances usually signal trouble; he quietly took out the Dragon Fishing Pole, the delivery order, and other items like Hell, before entering.

Fortunately, inside there was no obvious or hidden traps, no curse setups, and no demons or monsters.

Just a girl dressed in cotton loungewear, wrapped in a blanket, sitting by the stove.

The fire roared in the stove; the room temperature reached at least over forty degrees.

However, the girl’s face and hands were still pale and blue, devoid of any blood color, as if she had suffered severely from cold.

"Bloody Restaurant’s delivery guy?"

The girl glanced at his uniform and asked.

"Yes."

Liu Zheng replied.

"What’s the dish?"

The girl asked again.

"Ultra-concentrated Bean Soup."

"Oh, that’s perfect. Give it to me."

The girl stretched out her hand.

"I need to verify your identity, are you Zhuge Ling?"

Although the other party was cooperative, he asked cautiously.

"Over there on the desk, the left drawer. My ID card, household register, and business license are in there. You can check them yourself."

The girl pointed to the desk on her left front side.

"Can I call someone in?"

Liu Zheng became increasingly cautious.
